What's in our backpacks?
PLCC Backpacks are filled with books, engagement & promotional materials, information about the author or illustrator and a unique author or illustrator challenge for your students!
Backpacks can travel to any school, anywhere in Australia! They are FREE to book; you pay the cost of forwarding your backpack to the next school.
If you are an author or illustrator and would like to be a part of this project, please email Gina at tlccin2018@gmail.com for more information.

Backpack feedback
One of the few ways possible to assess the value of this program is via your feedback, and this takes less than 10 minutes of your time!
Your feedback appears in annual reports to publishers and sponsors, as well as to the authors and illustrators. Without this reportable data, publishers and sponsors may be less inclined to support this project.

Backpack reimbursement - thank you to MTA!
The easiest and quickest way to claim reimbursement for your second, third or fourth backpack booked in the current year is to pay yourself for postage and a signature on delivery and then email me a copy of the receipt and your bank or PayID details. In most instances, I can transfer the money immediately.
Your school pays for the first, fifth and subsequent backpacks.
The average backpack (up to 5kg) should cost less than $25, a signature on delivery is $2.95 and the recycled tough bags are $2.40.
Australia Post has advised they will also accept backpacks wrapped in heavy duty plastic bags with address labels, available free from Australia Post, attached.
Some backpacks attract a higher postage cost, eg the Davis backpack has two parcels (backpack and original artwork).
